The other is market literacy. The ability to pick and choose from the flood of information, manage it, and augment yourself properly. e.g. A genius artists who doesn't even know how to hire or work with other people can't take advantage of the market.

This can be considered general "business" sense. Most people are bad at this (like me). Sure we can browse amazon and shopify stores very well. Sure we can google "Best X of 2020" and read lots of reviews but we don't "really" know the full extent of the services provided.

They seem insensitive because they've made the sacrifice of burying their souls. The screaming of souls just feels annoying to them. Like the screaming of entitled children.
